The Wisdom of Trauma Movie Screening & Panel Discussion
Description
Youth 20/20 Can, in partnership with the City of Nanaimo, presents The Wisdom of Trauma movie screening featuring Dr. Gabor Maté and a panel discussion with professionals.
In The Wisdom of Trauma, we travel alongside physician, bestselling author and Order of Canada recipient Dr. Gabor Maté to explore why our western society is facing such epidemics. This is a journey with a man who has dedicated his life to understanding the connection between illness, addiction, trauma and society. For over a decade he worked in Vancouver’s Downtown East Side with patients challenged by drug addiction and mental illness.
“Trauma is not what happens to you. Trauma is what happens inside you, as a result of what happens to you.” — Gabor Maté
The screening is on March 10, 2023, at the Vancouver Island Conference Centre. Doors will open at 5 PM, and the event will start at 5:30 PM. Following the 88-minute movie, we will have a panel discussion with professionals in the field.
We would like to thank Mosaic Forest Management for sponsoring the event.
